Skin beauty tips : Summer skincare

Just like your wardrobe, your skincare regime needs to change with the seasons. During the hot summer months, your skin craves hydration and your best bet is a lightweight moisturizer. 

If you have dry skin…

A climate that goes from one extreme to the other can really wreak havoc on your skin. The extreme cold and around-the-clock heating in winter leaves your skin craving a heavy cream that really penetrates. During the summer, however, all you need is a light, oil-free moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated. Opt for a cream infused with vitamin E and avoid essential oils, as they'll only cause unwanted shine.

If you have combination skin…

Heat and humidity got your skin looking and feeling oily? Opt for a gel moisturizer and get that shine under control!

If you have oily skin…

Skin can be both oily and dry, and there are several astringent products out there that moisturize all while keeping oil to a minimum. These products maximize hydration, reduce sebum production, control oil and minimize pores—they basically work wonders! And remember to use an oil-free sunscreen (the ones specially formulated for oily skin are amazing!) to prevent breakouts caused by exposure to the sun. 

Pssst! Wash your face in the morning with a micellar solution tailored to your skin type—it'll help maintain your skin's balance.
